joshu: an assistant with a desk
You don't need another app. You need a Joshu.
Joshu is an assistant with its own computer, phone number, and email. Copy it on a thread, give it a call, or share a desktop with it. It knows the job, so you don't have to explain every step.
NoQuotas
Claiming your Joshu is free. Full service is $95 a month, with no token fees, no resets, and no caps.
- Scheduling How to have meetings scheduled for you
CC Joshu on a scheduling thread or ask in chat, phone, or Slack. Joshu reads your calendar, proposes times, and books the meeting with the right attendees and video link.

Ask Joshu for a Last Thirty Days research report on any topic. It scans social and web sources, groups the conversation, and saves a readable report on Joshu's desktop—or emails it on a schedule you set.

Make a folder, drop files in (or sync them), hit share, and you're done. Joshu can send a download link, stand up a chatbot that only answers from those files, or drop a helper into Slack.

Imagine if the inbox was already triaged when you sat down.
A short list of what actually needs you, plus a trail of what got handled overnight.
Imagine if follow-ups left while you were still in the meeting.
The thank-you and the recap go out before you walk back to your desk.
Imagine if you did not have to prompt, assign, or babysit.
Joshu was trained for this, so you can keep moving while it keeps the day.
Phone A phone number

Chief of staff craft
Clear delegation briefs, SOPs for the work that repeats, and a calendar that shows what actually matters. Handoffs go shadow, then assist, then take over.

Frameworks like GROW (Goal, Reality, Options, Will), plus listening and next steps you can actually do.
Small business ready
Marketing, branding, design, and research, so Joshu can ship the work instead of handing you homework.
What is Joshu?
Joshu is a colleague with a desk. It has its own computer, phone number, email, apps, browser, storage, and memory. You can text it, call it, email it, or share its screen, the same way you would a person.
How is this different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT answers in a box, then the box closes. Joshu has its own workspace, phone number, email, and memory that lasts. You are not the task master. Joshu is trained to notice the work and follow through.
What does it cost?
Full service is $95 a month. No token fees, no monthly resets, no hidden usage caps. Claiming your Joshu at hello.joshu.me is free. $95 is what the hosted assistant costs once you are on.
Is it open source? Can I leave?
Yes. The box stack is AGPL. You can read how it works and self-host if you want. Export anytime with a Portable Soul bundle: knowledge, skills, and provenance in open formats. We do not train models on your data. Hosting is 100% in the United States.
Is my data secure?
Your files, memories, and personalization live in an isolated cloud environment hosted in the US. We do not train models on your data. Reach out at info@joshu.me if you have questions.
